The inspiration behind this paining is mental health awareness. The black and white background represents depression. When you are stuck in a depressive state, it is easy to think in black and white. You are in survival mode. Some people struggle more than others and some have never met the struggle of a depressive episode. 
 
Most people who struggle with their mental health are deficient in vitamin D. Ironically mushrooms are rich in vitamin D. The vibrant colors represent the person you are underneath all of the muck. That is your truest most authentic version of yourself.
 
Mushrooms grow in the oddest places... even in shit. You can make a comeback even if it doesn't feel like. If mushrooms can grow through shit, so can you :)
